| fes | hi guys. how come QT5 applications do not follow the GTK+ theme in 16.04? | 20:46 |
|---|---|---|
| jbicha | fes: because qt does theming separately, but see https://github.com/MartinBriza/adwaita-qt | 20:47 |
| jbicha | ironically I went through some effort to finally get qt off our default install for 16.10 but in 16.10 adwaita-qt is packaged but it depends on qt :( | 20:49 |
| fes | jbicha, I tried it in an Arch installation and it worked out of the box. Is it really QT or GTK+ fault and not Ubuntu's settings? | 20:49 |
| jbicha | I believe it's originally Qt and GTK's fault, yes | 20:50 |
| jbicha | but it can be worked around by installing adwaita-qt and qgnomeplatform | 20:51 |
| jbicha | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/QGnomePlatform | 20:51 |
| fes | jbicha, do you know where I can find these packages? I seem to have a hard time finding DEB's of them. Thanks. | 20:56 |
| fes | is it safe to use debians unstable package ofadwaita-qt? | 20:58 |
| jbicha | fes: do you use the gnome3 staging ppa? | 21:00 |
| fes | i believe so since I have gnome 3.20 in 16.04. | 21:02 |
| jbicha | ok, I'll backport adwaita-qt to the staging ppa for xenial; give it an hour or two to build | 21:03 |
| jbicha | but qgnomeplatform isn't packaged yet | 21:03 |
| fes | jbicha, thank you very much! | 21:04 |
| fes | i tried qt5cp but had problems getting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct" working even though I tried it in ~/.profile and /etc/environment | 21:05 |
| fes | qt5ct | 21:05 |
| fes | since you mentioned backport... will QT5 and GTK+ theming work better in 16.10 compared to 16.04? | 21:06 |
| jbicha | not currently | 21:07 |
| jbicha | but gnome-session 3.20 sets an environment variable that makes it easier to use adwaita-qt and qgnomeplatform (that's why I asked whether you were using GNOME 3.20) | 21:08 |
| jbicha | https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-session/commit/?id=971baf2e | 21:08 |
| fes | do you think future distros that will use 3.20 or 3.22 will have gnomeplatform and adwaita-qt by default so that people won't even notice diference between those toolkits? | 21:12 |
| jbicha | the problem for Ubuntu GNOME is that we don't know if we want to include qt by default; so users may have to install it separately after | 21:17 |
| jbicha | there are still differences, for instance qt apps usually have more icons in menus and buttons than gtk apps | 21:18 |
| fes | isn't it possible to have those packages installed by default so that IF qt4 and qt5 are installed later they will follow what is setup in gnomeplatform / adwaita-qt? | 21:18 |
| jbicha | adwaita-qt depends on qt5. Yes it's possible for Ubuntu GNOME to install it by default but we'd also be installing qt5 by default | 21:32 |
| fes | Aha, I didn't think of qt5 probably being a dependency to adwaita-qt | 21:33 |
| jbicha | we may still end up doing it for 16.10 or 17.04; I'm just annoyed because "no qt by default" was going to be a Feature of the new release for me :| | 21:35 |
| fes | The difference between being in a band and being a solo artist. Not always easy getting your wishes through :D | 21:40 |
